New plans have been submitted.

A new planning application has been submitted by the RMBI. Local residents and all those people who wrote to object to the previous proposals have received letters stating that the revised plans may be viewed at 9, St. Leonard’s Place.
Letters of objection will be accepted right up to the planning meeting which could be in April.

IMPORTANT. New letters of objection will have to be sent even if you have written before. Please see “Take Action” section!

The changes are as follows:

  • The RMBI have given more information about their finances and why they need to raise funds.
  • There is now one less apartment block alongside the floodplain although the remaining three blocks are all three storey.
  • There are now to be 9 houses instead of 11 on the field adjacent to St Oswalds Road but they will still be two and three storeys high.
  • There is the addition of 7 parking spaces for the surgery which will be in the centre along the new access road from Main Street.There will be a footpath leading from here to the existing surgery carpark. which is at least thirty metres away.
  • The extension to Fred Crossland House is now indicated as a “definate” rather than a “possible” extension. (This will provide another 6 rooms and has been reduced in size from the original “possible” extension.
  • There is now no provision for affordable housing at all.
  • The position of the three blocks of flats alongside the floodplain, has altered very slightly.

The remaining plan appears to be largely unchanged.

We will be considering the implications of these changes when we have had more time to study the plans and the planning support statement etc. but it would appear that although the density of building in parts of the site has been slightly reduced, all our previous objections will still apply.

Meanwhile if anyone would like to look at the new plan or would like more information, please e-mail us or ring one of our contact numbers. (mail@fulfordfriends.co.uk) (01904) 630402 or 639582.
